Thanks to Birding-aus and especially to Trevor Ford for
posting his sighting of the Laughing Gull at Bribie, I managed to get a look at
this bird on the sandspit below Buckley's Hole. The bird was present until
approx. 0620-0630 before flying back up towards the bridge. The gull was on
and off the sandspit a few times while I was there and when it wasn't on the
spit it was flying just offshore with Silver Gulls. I arrived at about 0555
when the tide was dropping and this spit often has a congregation of terns and
gulls
